cable catenary measurements jun16
mar17
The cable catenary survey was done on 14,15
jun16 using a laser scanning device.
The plots show the az,za positions as well as the tiedown tensions
during the measurements:
- top frame: azimuth position (dome side) vs hour of day
- The blue dashed lines are when the measurements were taken
- 2nd frame: the za position vs hour of day.
- The black trace is the dome za
- the red trace is the ch za
- bottom frame. Tiedown tensions vs hour of day
- the tensions are the sum of the two cables on each corner.
- black: td 12
- red : td 4
- green: td 8
- I corrected for any bad load cells.
- The labels tell the time, and tensions at each measurement.
- I shifted some of the requested times so that they aligned
with the specified az,za positions that the telescope was
supposed to be in during each measurement.
